AI & Automation Risk

Low Risk 3/10

The core duties are physical and interpersonal, requiring real-time human presence to maintain security, conduct searches, and physically restrain individuals. AI exposure is limited to peripheral administrative tasks like report writing and log entry, or enhancing surveillance systems, but it cannot replace the physical oversight and intervention required in correctional and courtroom environments.
